Raagi payasam

These days importance to millet is growing. Raagi which is known as finger millet in english is very rich in nutrients. In summer we will mostly drink raagi porridge with butter milk as it cools our body. And raagi also helps us for weight loss. I will make sure we will drink raagi porridge almost every day in India. But here in shanghai i couldn't get raagi unfortunately.
This is very easy recipe and a healthy one. Finger millet are rich in proteins, calcium, carbohydrates, fiber. This helps for easy digestion also.
As we know the health benefits, its very helpful for babies/toddlers/kids. And kids they are bored of same recipe frequently. when browsing through channels one day i saw a tv cookery show where the host prepared this payasam. I felt that is another healthy version of eating raagi with milk, nuts powder/dry fruits, ghee and jaggery.

I am Sravya and I am from Hyderabad, India. Currently I am staying in Shanghai. I am a caring mom of 2 yr old boy and loving wife of a software professional. Main task is to prepare food appetizingly with the ingredients available here. Since its an Asian country, we can get most of the things.My interest for cooking started when i am in small age. I used to help my mom in small things and I feel that created me much confidence to try new recipes which ever i tasted or come across. Due to my dad's job, my job(before marriage) and now my husband's job I have been to different places and each place has its own magic. And my interest increased to find those minute differences which also drove me towards this cooking passion.Now I am taking all pics with my mobile phone MI 3. Post your comments for respective recipe which will help to improve. Here I am posting the recipes which i tried and tasted in my kitchen. All pics and content are copyright to Cooking Delights 2016.
